On this tour, we'll embark into a National Park which is rather close to the capital city of Ecuador, and allows for the opportunity to regularly see condors, hummingbirds; highland birds and wild deer! All of this while enjoy being surrounded by lots of stunning volcanic landscapes. The National Park and volcano are located on the eastern slope of the Andes, not far from our capital city! This place has also been inhabited since the Ecuadorian Stone Age, because of the old lava flows that allowed the ancient tribes to get obsidian and stones from here in order to manufacture ancient tools like arrow and spear tips, knives, etc. Although we won't be able to see old artifacts in present day, we will see the huge lava flow, where our people got the obsidian from 10000 year ago!
·Our tour will have an early start from Quito to then head eastwards until we reach a birdwatching and observation point, where we'll keep our eyes out for condors and hummingbirds. ·Here we will enjoy a typical hot tea with a herb from the area (SUNFO). ·After that, we'll drive some more meters up to Antisana National Park. ·On arrival, we'll go trekking for around an hour close to a highland lake which is located arund 4000 meters above sea level! It's an easy walk, which we'll do with no rush! ·Once we finish our hike close to the lake, we'll enjoy a fresh meal from a lunchbox and then drive back to Quito. ·On our way back, if you feel up to it, we can make one last stop at the same bird observation lookout point, to potentially come across species that we might have missed in the morning! ·At last, I'll drop you off at your hotel.
